It helps to have a mother that went to Wal-mart and K-mart because that is all my parents could afford back in the 60's and 70's. We had a mall near us in the mid 70's but I think I got to shop there twice in my life. I bought a Prom dress when I was a Junior and shoes to match and another pantsuit for a special school event when I was a Senior. Parents today are as bad as their kids. Some parents just need to stop feeling guilty and stop spoiling their kids with material gifts and spend more time with their kids. It is okay to say NO! to the kids
